I'm getting head and neck pain that seems to only come on when i'm standing. once i lay down for a bit the discomfort goes away. why is this?

Muscle activation: When you are standing the muscles of the neck are active but if you lay down they will relax and not hurt. Visit your doctor for an evaluation. www.otwithmd.com.
